Oh, the peace you left behind
Rest now, father, in the light
Akonawatata, your voice is a memory
Carried on the wind, setting my spirit free
You were the man of peace when the world felt cold
With a heart made of mercy, a story untold
'It's okay, let it be,' that’s what you’d say
Teaching us how to walk through the darkest day
Oh, father for all, our strength and our lifeline
In the shadow of your grace, we’re doing just fine
Though the chair is empty, your love remains
Healing our hearts and breaking the chains
Rest well, father, in the arms of the King
To you, the boys of your heart will always sing
You walked among men, but you were greater than the rest
With wisdom in your hands, you put us to the test
To be kind, to be steady, to stand in the truth
You were the foundation of our restless youth
Thank You Jesus, for the time that we had
Missing the steady hand of a truly great dad
Oh, father for all, our strength and our lifeline
In the shadow of your grace, we’re doing just fine
Though the chair is empty, your love remains
Healing our hearts and breaking the chains
Rest well, father, in the arms of the King
To you, the boys of your heart will always sing
Hallelujah, the struggle is done
You’ve finished the race, you’ve captured the sun
Yes Lord, we honor the legacy you gave
A light in the darkness, a love that will save
Glory to the memories we hold in our chest
Father, you’ve earned your heavenly rest
The boys are here, holding tight to your word
Every prayer you whispered, the heavens have heard
We’ll keep moving forward, we’ll carry the flame
Walking with honor, in your holy name
Praise Him for the father who showed us the way
Until we meet again, at the breaking of day
Oh, father for all, our strength and our lifeline
In the shadow of your grace, we’re doing just fine
Though the chair is empty, your love remains
Healing our hearts and breaking the chains
Rest well, father, in the arms of the King
To you, the boys of your heart will always sing
'Let it be,' you said, 'let it be'
Rest well, father, in eternity
Amen, Amen
We love you, always
